Spooky fun for the family at Halloween walk

HALLOWEEN is more than a month away but tickets are already on sale for a spine-chilling event.

It’s A Scream will be held in Rotherham from 7pm on Monday, October 31, when Far Out Theatre will host a ghost trail around the town centre.

The tour will take in nearly 2,000 years of history filled with war, intrigue, famous faces and historic architecture and the odd supernatural experience.

This year’s ghost walk event is back by popular demand after the last four sold out.

Tickets for the walk are now on sale from Rotherham Visitor Centre priced at £5 or £3 for concessions. Booking in advance is essential.

The walk is suitable for adults and children and families are urged to get dressed up and have fun.

The local Whistle Stop Sweet Shop is donating a prize for the best-dressed fancy dress outfit at the event.

People joining this year’s ghost walk can also experience an extra gruesome tale, with a £2 discount on the price of an adult ticket for a production of The Haunted Bride, being staged at Rotherham Civic Theatre on Thursday, November 3.
